Satelite View

The satellite view offers a quick glimpse as to whether the MRDS location corresponds to visible mine remains.

Comments
Comment (Geology): OLDER LITERATURE CONSIDERED HOST ROCK TO BE PART OF OHANAPECOSH FORMATION, BUT KOROSEC (1987) DID NOT INCLUDE THESE ROCKS IN THAT FORMATION
Comment (Deposit): LOCATION MAP AVAILABLE, MOEN (1977) ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT
Comment (Deposit): VEIN CONSISTS OF 5 OR 6 HEAVILY OXIDIZED STREAKS THAT PAN FREE GOLD AT THE SURFACE. THE VEIN MATERIAL BETWEEN THE STREAKS CONSISTS OF SOFT BLUISH LIME CONTAINING FINE-GRAINED SULFIDES.
Comment (Location): UNSURVEYED. APPROXIMATELY 0.5 MI UP GRANITE CREEK FROM ITS CONFLUENCE WITH MCCOY CREEK. 3 MI ABOVE MOUTH OF MCCOY CREEK
